My NON Quilt projects
I've been a busy girl lately!!!
Not just with QUILTS, but with lots of other goody goodies too!. . The following photos are projects I have finished that are not in the QUILT category ;c)
A memorial pillow made of a shirt, and an embroidered label.
Big shout-out to my AWESOME neighbor Sandy for doing the embroidery block for me! I don't have an embroidery machine . . yet ;c)
In a last-minute Mommy Panic, I realized I didn't have a SINGLE valentines day outfit for my daughter!
So I took this outfit that was too big for her last summer, and altered it.
I made a patch with a big "M" for Mira, and FMQ'd or free-hand embroidered it with funky thread.
I lightly basted the heart patch over the OLD logo so that I could remove it later if I wanted to.
But I'm not sure if that will ever happen ;c)
Here's my sweet girl modeling her outfit.
Okay, ALSO. . I am TOTALLY OBSESSED with this :
It's a Free dress pattern from "The Cottage Mama"It's free simply by joining her mailing list or FACEBOOK group!
It's so versatile and very easy and user friendly!
I have made SIX dresses total in the very short time since I have found this pattern ;c)
Below is the very first dress I made using this pattern. I just pulled scraps from my stash for "practice." Look how ADORABLE??? I of course, was hooked!
And here is the "practice" dress featuring my model ;c)
After so much success with the practice piece, I decided to make another one.
I went to Joanns to find fabric with the intention of trying to recreate THIS dress.
They had a new line of fabrics called "in the navy". . . Doesn't she look so beautiful in that pale blue fabric?? It matches her eyes perfectly!
And do you see her looking at herself in the mirror?? Boyyyy she thinks she looks CUTE! hahaha
You would think after 2 dresses in a row I would have had enough. . . but nOOOOOOOOO LOl
My friend just had a new baby girl, and she also has a 2 year old! Usually I make new babies a quilt, but how cute would matching dresses be??
Front?
Back?
Ps, I can make one of these dresses for You in size 6month to size 10
Total = $50 which includes materials.
(Taxes and Fees may apply)
Shoot me an email (KatiesQuiltsandCrafts@gmail.com)
I can send you a paypal invoice
or,
I can set up a custom listing on etsy.
Both options offer buyer protection.

A WHALE of a baby quilt!
See what I did there?
Tee Hee.
My moms friend and co-worker Shelly is having a baby boy! She decided a week before her baby shower that she liked the theme of green and navy . . and whales. I love it too, and [by the way] ever since I completed this quilt, I now see whales on baby clothes everywhere I go! ;c)
Shelly still has not decided on a name, but that's okay we will add that to the quilt later, no problem. But thankfully, I was able to at least make a quilt within her range of colors just in time for her baby shower.
I made this quilt similar to the applique baby quilts I have made previously. I made a Monkey, an Owl, 2 Owls, and one with a puppy. It's easy because you can take several colors or prints from the nursery, and use those throughout the quilt.
I drew the image on fusible stabilizer, and then once the appliques were fused to the background, I used a raw-edge machine buttonhole stitch to secure.
I did a version of McTing for the large open background area and feathers in the two pieces areas.
I used rick rack in two different shades of blue to give more of a "water" effect. Also I hand sewed buttons for the whales eyes, and I used small glass beads for the birds eyes. (I told her that she could easily remove them with a seam ripper if she feels they are too much of a hazard.)
